This ipod has no directories in it however, from my pc all I can see is all the songs stored in the ipod root drive.
Recently I got an ipod touch, and copied the same tracks to it using itunes, and now, I see all my songs listed alphabetically, no folders, or album lists, so its as good as random now 
What surprises me is that this is not determind by the cars software, but by something in the ipod  Strange |
Is/was your Ipod up to date as far as firmware? I know alot of others have had issues with it on the Pioneer Avic radios. Undoubtably Apple updates the outdated logic on the older Ipods as they release newer stuff for the latest ones...
I too sync my music in a flat directory, with out subfolders, specifically for the random feature. I never really care to try to hunt down music...I just let them play in random, and skip if I don't want to hear a certain one.
